Hiromi Hayakawa's death shocked the Mexican entertainment industry as she was a beloved singer and actress in the musical theatre world. What makes the story even more devastating was that the former "La Academia" star was pregnant and both mother and daughter died. Hiromi's mother, Lourdes Elsa Salas, has now revealed what were the causes of death of her daughter. "She called me in the afternoon and she told us that she was going with her doctor and that everything was fine, that Julieta was ok, but it was likely that she would come sooner," she told "Hoy". "She went back to the doctor due to pain in her stomach, the words she used was that 'it got complicated' because Julieta died the night before and my daughter this morning."

Hiromi's death was due to an internal hemorrhage that was caused when Julieta died in her womb. "They are talking about an internal hemorrhage that they were able to control last night," Hiromi's mother added. "They operated her this morning again around 11 and they were able to stop the hemorrhage but it was followed by multiple cardiac arrests that kept coming. There was a moment that they called us to her room and told us she had died, but when we were heading there they called the doctor to say she had vital signs again and almost immediately, minutes later they told us not anymore. Doctors said that this has only happened about four times in the last twenty years."

Lourdes Elsa Salas is worried about her son in law Luis Fernando Santana that has been by Hiromi's side at every moment. "He hasn't left her side, he has cried all day, it's incredible how this poor man has been," she revealed. "She was so happy, so in love, so joyful to become a mother. She had achieved many dreams in theatre but being a mom filled her life and thank God that she was able to find a good husband."

Carlos Rivera dedicated a touching message after learning of Hiromi's passage. For those "La Academia" fans, they were both in a relationship during their time on the reality show. "It was unforgettable the day that you came in to the Churubusco studios," he wrote. "We were rehearsing what would be our first concert on 'La Academia,' they had just cut your long hair up until your shoulders. You were like a little doll. My still young heart froze by your unique beauty. I would later discover your soul's beauty."

"Very few people know that you're the culprit of having me fall in love with musical theatre," he added. "You showed me how wonderful it was and you took me to my first play, the rest is history. I am eternally grateful for that. Your discipline and passion were always your stamp and I proudly saw how you became a big star on the Mexican theatre scene."

"Even though our paths separated many years ago, you were very important in my life," Rivera continued. "They say that you never forget your first love, that is why I will never forget you. As the song that I wrote about you goes, 'I will keep everything about us in memories...' We will miss you, your friends, your colleagues, the public and the stages. May God receive you in heave with your angel Julieta. That her light be of consolation to your husband and your family. With love and respect, Carlos."
